Countless DJs and producers of the 21st century have combined the nostalgic power of oldies with the liberating boom of 808 drums, sharing their creations with millions of listeners on YouTube and SoundCloud. The musical magic of old-meets-new has become such a phenomenon that sometimes, legendary artists who dominated radio years ago have reached out directly to EDM ingenues for epic crossovers that give long beloved hits a second time in the mainstream sun.

To get the glitter ball spinning disco expert Professor Tim Lawrence, from the University of East London and author of dance music history Love Saves the Day, helped us explore 6 ways in which the genre changed the world.

Tim Lawrence says: Disco was one of the most influential cultural and musical movements of the 1970s. It was the platform through which social dancing became a popular phenomena again after fading out at the end of the 1960s. Disco repopularised dancing as a social activity internationally, but it was responsible for introducing a new style of freeform dancing. Prior to disco, all forms of social dancing involved a man and a women dancing with one other.

DJ mixing techniques, and the rise of the DJ as a new form of musician, primarily started in New York City in the 1970s. For example, in the UK right up untill the end of the decade DJs would announce the song names between tracks! The New York DJs knew dancers wanted to lose themselves in the records because of the new form of crowd dancing. They developed all these techniques that would enhance that experience. It started with Grasso using a pair of headphones to listen to the incoming record so he could mix the two together and maintain a continuous flow. DJs then started to explore ways of extending records, say by buying two copies of the same single and then mixing them together.

The DJs were the organic experts of this culture. They were music fans who wanted to play records and barely made a living out of it. They had no training, no conventional musical skills, but developed a very refined and receptive sensibility to the culture they helped to create.

It was never exclusively a gay club, but they made it clear they were welcome. And this new crowd changed dynamic of the dance floor. In fact Francis Grasso [the in house DJ at The Sanctury] said his new DJ mixing technique was inspired by this this new crowd. The energy was so high, he started mixing together records so there was no gap. So disco, with its freedom, became a way for gay culture to find an expression.

A label called Sceptre Records was one of the first to spot what was going on in the discotheques so started to commission records specifically for the disco market. Another indie, Salsoul, realised that dancers wanted to own 12 inch singles they made for DJs, so in 1976 they were the first label to release one commercially, which proved a major foundation for dance culture more widely.

As the 80s unfolded, major artists and record labels began to see the value in commissioning remixes of their music, to give their songs appeal to a wider audience. Early pop remixes typically stayed true to the original song, just with a longer arrangement and extra instrumentation to make them work as extended mixes for club play.

As technology evolved, leading to the dance music explosion and Summer of Love in 1988, remixes increased in complexity, becoming a staple for a significant number of dance music singles. In the 90s, the rise in affordable samplers and computer-based recording also gave birth to the mash-up, where a remixer would find an instrumental and mix it with a vocal in the same key to create a not-so-subtle hybrid of two tracks.
